Does PortableApps Require a U3 Flash Drive? Or can I just use any ole flash drive? If I don't need a U3 flash drive, what are U3 drives good for?

Hi,

I would like to rip CDs directly to my MP3 device without interfering with the HD of the local PC, i.e. without writing on anything but the RAM and the MP3 device. Is there a portable app capable of doing this? I use both (SuSE) Linux and Windows XP.

Also, I have a general question about portable apps: these apps do not change any boot information on this device, right? For the MP3 device, they are nothing but files, just like pictures or pdfs, correct?

Hi, I'm new to portable apps. I think its a reall cool and convenient software package. I spend a lot of time in internet cafes so I'm looking to increase the pleasure of my surfing experience and also make it more secure!!

I installed the portable apps menue and some apps. I did install the virus scanner.

Today, actually now, I am at an internet cafe. I plugged in my usb key. Ran the virus scan and the key is LOADED with viruses. They must have transfered into the key when I plugged it in. They are all over the place, in several folders...

Hi everyone,

I use my PC to connect to internet using a proxy server and it works fine.

but all my portable apps, with prosy set as IE7, won't work.

thanks

I tried to run the downloaded file in the root directory of my thumb drive (SimpleFlash Disk 2 GB), but receive the following error: 7z SFX has encountered a problem and needs to close.

I can furnish screen prints of the "more information" and "technical information" if that will help determine the problem and its solution.

Please help.

I am interested in applications that can configured to run from a CD. My present employer and my previous employer both deny the ability to install application on work pc's and disallow connection of portable devices, but will allow CD's. I have found a number of applications that will work from CD, but would like to find more. I would really love to have the Portable Apps menu running from CD (havn't tried it yet).

what i want to do is to be able to use a flash drive with portableapps on either a windows,a mac or a linux machine. Do i need to make an executable file(s) of some sort?would i need put it on the flash drive
if possible i want it to automatically execute on its own

i found this article on using usb in linux

I don't know how the new PAM will handle the drive space but I have a suggestion.
In my VB6 version I used a picturebox control, and set picture to drive_space_slider.bmp(135x15 pixels)
On the form load I set the picture box width to
135-(drivefreespace/drivetotalspace * 135)
The drive_space_slider size should always be 135x15
The picturebox doesn't resize the image, it only displays as much as will fit in the box so you get the right size bar and no shrinking or stretching is required.

I have read here that a portable Linux will be soon released. I was wondering if you are talking about Ubuntu.
